Sculpting Procedural Texture

 

Speak

Trying out a new kind of gallery show process. Randomly mutated painting is being generated off of an automatically generated vectorizer processed randomly selected source image.

ScareCrow

Why are scarecrows scary? This one has an interesting story associated with it.

This one was created using Studio Artist's gallery show feature working in a pretty fascinating new way. I added a new feature where you can take the output of the previous gallery show cycle and then auto-load that as the new source image to be used for the next gallery show cycle.

So this particular image actually started with a news photo picture of Larry Ellison standing on a stage that i manually placed in the canvas as a starting image. Then i started up gallery show with this new processed canvas to source recirculation feature turned on. So at the end of each gallery show cycle, the resulting painted image was then loaded as a new source to be used for painting the next gallery show cycle. I was also using a mutate factory paint gallery show technique. With mutating auto-masking based on the ever changing recirculating source imagery. And my custom water wash paint preset favorites folder i like to use for the start cycle processing.

I think the end result of this procedural image generation process is fascinating. And again barely scratches the surface of what you could achieve by working with it. Now as to why that scare crow is scary...

Procedural image test.

Abstract MSG 3

Abstract procedural art image generated by directed evolution of MSG processors in Studio Artist 4. It's using recursive IO connections, so that and the 8 processor threading when the MSG processors that have the recursive IO connections are run on an 8 processor pro tower is what is generating the 8 vertical banded visual effect.

Abstract MSG 2

Another abstract image generated in Studio Artist 4 using MSG processor evolution to create procedural art imagery.

More abstract MSG imagery from the Studio Artist archives.

MSG Attractor

Procedural art variation on a chaotic attractor created in Studio Artist 4 using MSG processors.

MSG Mandala

MSG preset using a polar warp processor for the circular symmetry.

MSG Procedural Art 2

Here's another procedural art piece generated by directed evolution of MSG processors in Studio Artist 4.

MSG Procedural Art

Procedural art image created by directed evolution of MSG processors in Studio Artist 4.

MSG Symmetry

Procedural art image created in Studio Artist 4 by directed evolution of MSG processors. This is another one i'd put in the category of thinking you see a face in there when there isn't one really there.

MSG Experiments

Abstract procedural image created using one of the new MSG processors in Studio Artist 4.

MSG Star

Procedural image generated by directed evolution of MSG processors during Studio Artist 4 testing.

MSG Experiments

Some abstract procedural images created using the MSG evolution editor in Studio Artist 4.

Directed Evolution MSG Experiments 5

More experiments using directed evolution of MSG processors.

Directed Evolution MSG Experiments 4

Abstract imagery created using the MSG evolution editor in Studio Artist 4.

Directed Evolution MSG Experiments 3

More abstract imagery created in Studio Artist 4 by directed evolution of MSG processors in the evolution editor.

Directed Evolution MSG Experiments 2

More experiments with directed evolution of MSG processors in Studio Artist 4 to create abstract imagery. There's actually apollonian packing going on for the sampling points for the paths but it's not obvious since it hasn't been distance sorted. I added that feature after i generated these.
